Who would have known!! Turn around days for any liveaboard dive boat are very busy and if you were wathcing, it probably looks hectic, it really is organized chaos! Reprovishing, fueling, cleaning the inside/outside for the arrival of the next group of happy divers. Squeezing in all the repairs and regular preventative maintenance needed. I […]

When they rolled round we rolled round, when we stopped to gaze at them they stopped to gaze at us. Socorro Island, Mexico.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR DIVES! Mantas, Mantas, Mantas! The Boiler is fantastic for Mantas. They actually seem to like interactions with us humans. A very special and humbling experience. Sailed to Roca Partida and saw whales breeching and fin slapping. Underwater was crystal clear with abundant White Tip Reef Sharks, Galapagos Sharks, Jacks, and fishes. […]

Allein der Name Boiler fuer den Tauchplatz laesst schon viele Spekulationen zu. Diese wurden durch interaktives Tauchen mit Delphinen und vor allem durch die grosse Anzahl der Mantas bestaetigt und uebertroffen. Bei allen 4 Tauchgaengen waren diese an der Putzerstation anwesend und genossen sichtlich den Kontakt mit den Tauchern. Dass die von allen erwarteten Mantas auch […]

Roca Partida is one of those magical places that exist in our dreams. We have had the pleasure of spending two full days of diving around “The Rock”. Now remember it is also smack dab in the middle of nowhere close to land or shelter, it is exposed to all the elements at hand. I […]

After a slow cruise along the eastern shore of Clarion Island we dropped anchor off a huge reddish colored cliff rising straight out of the ocean. Clarion, Socorro Islands, Mexico.

We arrived at the remote Clarion Island early this morning after an overnight transit from Roca Partida. Clarion is the 4th island in the Revillagigedo chain of islands, commonly known as the Socorro Islands. We rarely get a chance to dive here, so we are still in the exploration stage at Clarion. Today after checking […]

One of the joys of this trip is getting up early to watch the last of the night sky with brilliant stars and even shooting stars, and the early chat of birds on Roca Partida. Mexico.

Our first day diving at Roca Partida was excellent. Great visibility, good dives and lots of sunshine. We had dolphins on our first two dives of the day. I now believe that a dolphin who I have named Shorty because the tip of his right pectoral fin is missing, is definitely the ring leader of […]
